It's est. the Weston family is worth $8.7b and 30% of that is $2.61b, lots of money for those raises and expansions. (One could, rather conceivably, argue, too, that 30% is far too low a tax rate for these thieves and heirs of thieves, anyway.)

I found a kid's book about Libya at the dollar store while this was going on. I remember being a bit surprised how beautiful it was and how interesting the people and everything were, because I had only ever heard the scary racist msm news descriptions of it. Same with lovely Syria. Free them all. 💔

Never forget that when the US and NATO invaded, bombed and regime-changed Libya they did it in the name of “human rights”… and in the process transformed one of the most developed countries in Africa into a place riddled with civil war and infamous for open-air slave markets.

You should never shout this at a person because they are visibly Jewish. I have had any number of things shouted at me because I’m visibly Muslim. It’s not ok.

This is what first-past-the-post does. 48% support becomes 81% of seats, opposition voices vanish, and whole regions are represented by just one party. Proportional representation means every vote counts everywhere.

Seize and nationalize Loblaw, starting with Shopper's Drug Mart, give all the employees a good raise and benefits, invest in expanding their medical and Canada Post services and postal banking. Put that money into the country and people, not more to the billionaire grocery oligarchs like Weston.

This kent stuff is so incredible to me like is this where we are with political consciousness? You’re blaming the glorified military outpost for what its mother settler colony does? The one that predates it by centuries? Even the Marxist do this. No material analysis brings us here

Looking forward to hearing from @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social tonight.

I feel like the Carney govt in Canada has pulled off a much more competent, less critiqued (so far) version of what Starmer aimed for in the UK: getting elected as an alternative to Conservatives, then *immediately* restructuring the country as conservatively as possible without raising alarms.

Taxation is the compromise. The alternative, as history shows, is that the ultra-wealthy get dragged out of their homes. They should be taxed for their own good as well as ours. We can't maintain our democracy when these unelected and unaccountable kleptocrats hoard wealth on these scales.

While her government used the notwithstanding clause against striking teachers, Danielle Smith was accepting private jets and luxury hotel stays from the Saudi government. We pushed for stronger ethics rules with our No More Skyboxes bill, but the UCP voted it down. The entitlement is staggering.

The Federal Liberals love oil, guns, and big tech. This government is more conservative (worse) than the Harper Conservatives. They duped you again, dummies!

Tory Leader to non‑binary Minister Asagwara: “You’re a terrible person… whatever you are.” Still attacking LGBTQ people, Mr. Khan? Manitobans rejected this bigotry in the last election.

If you protect or run interference for pedophiles, my assumption is that you are either compromised or a pedophile yourself. Simple as.

Whatever happens we must not hold the ginger community responsible for the actions of Woke Ginger

maybe we could discuss this and ask candidates to explain how they will deal with the Vancouver Police Department which currently governs the city

Helping families afford childcare would let so many parents return to the careers they love. We could get folks back into their healthcare professions practically overnight. #ndp #cdnpoli #healthcareworkers #votetanille #childcare

I can attest to this

These headlights are a menace.

Fair to say that the Western U.S. heatwave has reached record-shattering status, with dozens of locations breaking all-time March monthly heat records & some now approaching *April* records. Swath of record heat extends clear from Pacific to Great Plains, & from Canada to Mexico.

For March, Taking Alice Wong’s Advice in this Capitalist Hellscape will be our focus, with an invitation to reflect on how this can inspire our Collective Liberation, so I hope you will consider joining us then!🫂 Here is the registration link: accesslovemarch.eventbrite.ca Please share widely! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

They’re gonna run out of zeroes

BTW now that it's been leaked, the White House is asking for a supplemental package of $200,000,000,000 from Congress for war with Iran

Anarchist literature is now evidence of terrorism, according to the government. As is wearing black at a protest, carrying a first aid kit, or using Signal. Horrifying stuff is happening, it's happening quickly, and not nearly enough people are paying attention to it.

Eyewitness accounts are emerging of Israeli settlers brutally sexually and physically assaulting men, women, and children in the West Bank By @skwawkbox.org

Another lonely nazi outed. This one had lengthy discussions with a chat bot.

Nothing to see here, just the CBC running a blatant copaganda piece almost entirely devoted to letting an “expert” (a former cop, naturally) lecture the public on how they should feel SAFER when police *randomly station a sniper at a St. Patrick’s Day block party* www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Let me tell you something about Cuba. US officials are constantly saying "socialism in Cuba is a failure". But in fact Cuba's achievements with socialism are extremely impressive:

Restoring rural bus service is something the NDP should run on.

lots more to say about this in the future, but for now, there is a response to the decision and its implications for scholarly research into Indigenous identity fraud, signed by 249 academics so far: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

this case I covered last summer has ended in a defamation ruling. the judge set aside Coupal's claim to Algonquin ancestry — which was disproven over the course of the trial — saying that only her "honest belief" in an Indigenous identity was relevant: www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

CN has confirmed fuel was spilled in a derailment Monday near Prince Rupert in Gitxsan territory. A hereditary chief says it's incidents like this that are threatening their way of life.

I wrote about this. The TLDR is: the Left has a decades-long abuse problem and without pushing for and achieving a true intersectional movement, this type of shit is going to continue. Let's figure this shit out, for Pete's sake

What would it take for NDP support in a Liberal minority? Rabble asked every leadership candidate. We’re highlighting all who said proportional representation should be a condition. Here’s Avi Lewis’ response:
